Sustainability Issues For Agriculture In Western Australia, Anne Bennett, Ross Kingwell, Ross George
Agriculture reports
This paper describes briefly the main challenges to the sustainability of agriculture in Western Australia and outlines some means of responding the the challenges: market-based approaches; agricultural and environmental research and development; accelerated adjustment; and global and national policy initiatives. Challenges include: land resource quality (salinity, soil acidity), biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, water availability, food safety, and pests and diseases.

Horticulture research reports
Lower Gascoyne Management Strategy
The Carnarvon horticultural area has suffered considerable erosion damage following flooding of the Gascoyne River.
The purpose of this report is to describe the factors that contribute to soil erosion in the Carnarvon horticultural area (Section 1) and provide guidelines for soil management (Sections 2 and 3) which will assist farmers, local government planners and government bodies with responsibility for resource protection and conservation.
The report:
- Provides detailed information on soil management for intensive irrigated cropping
- Details cropping alternatives to better manage the soil erosion risk
- Identifies appropriate plants for soil stabilisation in a range of …

Let’s start with a simple analogy: if a person eats more than they need, they gain weight. That is: if our feed inputs (kilojoules in) are greater than our outputs (exercise — kilojoules out) then we will gain weight (kilojoules in storage).That’s our fat. If, on the other hand, our feed inputs are less than our outputs, then we will lose weight.And if our inputs are the same as our outputs, our weight will remain constant. In general, the further away you are from an ‘ideal’weight, the greater the health risks. And yes, other aspects of your body management — …
